ronttuk Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I needed to do some work on my supra so I hunted around for a garage to rent for a day and found http://www.u-spanner.co.uk just up the road from me in Southend, It is a fully equipped garage including a hoist and tons of tools all in very good condition hourly charges are £20 an hour or £100 all day, the owner is a nice polite helpful bloke and even supplies tea and coffee, Once you've done the 20 min health and safety induction you can use it as you wish and have 24hour access, I know I will certainly be using it again.

mwilkinson Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Neat idea. Would be great if there was one down south. Would definitely look to use one of these over lying on the floor with axle stands!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 They was on dragons den a while back to get more money to expand to go nationwide but the dragons said no one will use it,they couldnt understand that many people work on their own cars instead of paying garages to do it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I guess its a good idea but im only paying £40 phr and that comes with a very good mechanic and all the Snap On tools you could wish for along with a ramp and tea/biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 We are considering it, insurance is a BIG issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 See it wouldn't be a saving for me. At £100 a day, it takes me all day to do something that a Toyota or Audi mechanic can do in an hour at £100 an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
